Chapter 12: Waiting
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Hiei," Aiko complained, "Just swallow your freaking pride so we can go back!" Aiko pleaded. "Look, we can hide until they find us!" Hiei said.
"You mean you can! I'm going back. You can follow if you like." Aiko said, and vanished in a blur of purple.
"Aiko...Wait!" Hiei yelled and vanished as well.
It had been 5 years since they're run in with Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Ryo. They didn't know what to expect when they got back.
Yusuke and the others had been playing cards at Ryo's apartment when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ryo asked. She looked through the little window in here door and dropped her mug to the floor where it shattered into millions of pieces.
Everyone looked up. "Ryo, what is it?" Kurama asked.
"Aiko.... Hiei...." Ryo said as she opened the door and let them in.
Kurama looked to the door before turning his back to his former teammates, "I thought you didn't want to come back!" He said coldly.
"Kurama, DROP IT! I BEGGED HIM TO COME BACK HERE AND YOUR NOT GOING TO MAKE MATTERS ANY BETTER BY MAKING 'US' LEAVE AGAIN!" Aiko yelled.
"So, Hiei, you let her drag you around like a dog?" Kurama said bitterly.
"Kurama, drop it!" Yusuke said.
"No, I want to hear him admit it! I want to hear him say he came here because Aiko begged him to." Kurama said, but obviously he had said too much because he got a blow to the mouth from Aiko for that.
"WE CAME BACK HERE TO SEE YOU! WASN'T HIEI YOUR BEST FRIEND?" Aiko yelled unable to control herself anymore.
"He was, until you came along and then made him leave with you. I have no respect for him anymore." Kurama said calmly.
"I thought I knew you better than this Kurama! I only go where I want to. I didn't have to follow her around or follow her back here. We didn't even go the same way after we left. I met up with Mukuro and stayed there for a while. She went somewhere else. I came back here because I wanted to, like it or not!" Hiei said, glaring at Kurama the whole time.
Kurama gulped down another bottle of sake before muttering something about going to bed. (He lived in the apartment across from Ryo's.)
"Well, I guess we both need to find somewhere to sleep!" Aiko said.
"Bye, then." Yukina and the others said.
Hiei and Aiko left. Aiko went to find somewhere to sleep, but Hiei went to Kurama's apartment and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Kurama asked.
"Hiei." Hiei said.
"Come in." Kurama said.
Hiei went in only to be attacked by Kurama. Kurama punched him in the face a couple of times before going to sit on the couch.
"What the hell do you want?" Kurama asked.
"To talk." Hiei said.
"I have nothing to say!" Kurama said.
"Look, I left because I wanted to find Mukuro. I am her heir now. I didn't leave because Aiko wanted me to. I told her I was leaving that day and she said she'd tell everyone. I had no idea that she left until she came to visit me in Mukuro's realms. I then knew you'd be looking for me and her, so I found you and told you not to." Hiei said as he turned leave.
"Hiei, I'm sorry." Kurama said. "I've had too much to drink tonight. Please excuse my rudeness!" Kurama begged.
Hiei nodded before he left. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
